Millions of users then realized that money is not safe and they tried to do withdrawals, which was suspended a few hours later. And the worst part was the hack, which many people think that Alameda did and stole an additional 400m usd.

Yeah, you're not wrong, the movie is coming out soon
There was no hack. There's no way that someone could have compromised that many systems that quickly unless they were absolutely fucking retarded and stored all the keys in one place with a shitty password, and I would imagine that a company worth billions like that one (at the time, anyways) likely had a whole team for cyber security.
